Amal Clooney On Human Rights Crisis In The Maldives | Meet The Press | NBC News

[@rkh7360]

She did it. She achieved his freedom. This was massive. Really admire her. She is my role model. But I have to say, Maldives being an important strategic location in the Indo-Pacific scheme of things also had a role in it.

[@annlanders978]

She's a lot more impressive than George Clooney.

[@DiverseLA]

+ann landers I'm curious why women feel the need to insult and degrade George Clooney? You're doing it, various feminist writers have done it, and Amy Poehler and Tina Fey did it. Did Clooney do anything wrong by marrying her?

[@siddarthasiddatha294]

+DiverseLA He's a womanizer/player and he is using this woman for his political gains. Just watch, he'll be running for office soon.

[@laza8675]

+DiverseLA its just an agered answer to all the tabloids that initially gushed how incredibly lucky amal was to have snatched this man who had took one woman after another his whole life without ever attaching

[@zrm1134]

She is educated person.

[@zrm1134]

[@ellacastillo3502]

i seriously love her voice... i don't know why...

[@retoelf]

+marella castillo she sounds so calm, collected and has this amazing depth in her voice, doesn't she? I'm totally in love as well! Her voice paired with her amazing intellect and her great sense of style - she's just perfect and really has become somewhat of my idol tbh

[@deniset2115]

+marella castillo Her voice has a low pitch.

[@AlqGo]

British accent

[@SethWeinstein]

WHY? Because you're a moron PR shill paid to promote the disfigured beast ugly Amal Alamuddin & her lisping speech impediment due to her bucktooth overbite??? Her voice nauseates George Clooney & anyone who hears those feigned nasal horse neighs overtones. That massive humped nose is so damaged from all the rhinoplasty yet it can't be reduced anymore. Instead it does pushups on her ass chin when the freak talks...

[@SethWeinstein]

Arab intonation of a refugee she male who learned English as a second language & suffers a speech impediment due to her bucktooth overbite deformed mouth & several failed nose jobs on that massive humped beak.

Amal is a great example of how women CAN succeed in a man's world; She is extremely sharp, educated and beautiful. I ADMIRE HER FOR THE CAUSES SHE FIGHTS FOR!! George is a very lucky guy!

[@seinnajune348]

I'm Maldivian, and i completely agree with her. Even though i never supported our ex president, his unfair arrest and jail sentence just breaks my heart. and those ridiculous 'terrorism charges' are bullshit. the current government just wants him out of the way because so many people support him.

[@infadelecharlton1090]

Hey Seinna, Honest question. Why did you not support your ex-president?

[@seinnajune348]

+Infadele Charlton I grew up believing that he was a corrupt politician (because of a few members of my family) . I did my own research and figured out it wasn't just him and his party, but the rest also had really corrupt, ignorant people. I thought the current government could end this political drama but they are just as bad as the others. the minute I heard about the shame trial of the ex president, I lost the remaining respect i had for them.

[@dbedazzling1]

I love the Maldives

[@ratcheteight8114]

Great to read conversations happening from you guys on the ground and the nationals of maldives

[@raulthepig5821]

Just like the Democrats wanting to get rid of President Trump for good. They've done everything but arrest him. They will have to do it with false charges.

[@jullee8803]

She is exemplary......💜💜💜 Very intelligent and eloquent

[@AN-cy7xm]

She is truly the real deal. Really intelligent and dignified.

[@SonjaZA]

I think any human rights violation should be an international matter. We should be accountable to one another as Human Beings. If I walk in the streets of a foreign country and I see someone needing help, I am not going to walk past and say 'It's not my problem because I don't live here'. What if that was my family needing help? Should we not take responsibility for one another?

[@MahiraAkoocom]

why don't you look at the human rights violations in countries like China India Kashmir Gaza Syria Irak

[@saniaasan]

I pray that somebody intelligent and influential like Amal looks into what's happening in Nepal! The multiple layered issues need serious international attention and better analysis from an outside perspective for sure. She definitely knows what she's talking about and is very eloquent, but I wish she wouldn't look like she's going to smile any moment. Maybe I'm imagining this, and that's just how she emotes and shows her confidence and positive energy? Anyhoo.

[@laza8675]

+Saniaa Shah I understand your point. I think it's a reaction to the fact people now look at her with the unnatural attention they give to celebrities as opposed the way they look to a normal lawyer and it might amuse her incontrollably cause its awkward

[@saniaasan]

+lara iza hmmm possibly

[@jessicasunnyd]

What? Some people are just smiley, some people always look sour or cross. Why not just accept someone for what they look or act like? Wishing someone would't always look like they are going to smile, particularly when they're on TV and fighting for serious human and democracy rights violation, is critical to a degree that is hard to understand. Whether you are smiley or never smiley, I just want you to know I accept you for whatever you are.

[@mrmirza7617]

Why only Nepal? Why not Pakistan n India ?

[@streamermoment]

Its terrible what is happening in the Maldives. Glad that Amal is able to use her brilliance and her celebrity to bring this to the forefront

[@taratara3986]

+Don Haas She speaks Arabic (her mother language), English (because she's been in the UK since age 2), and French (nobody has heard it, though) which is a second language to most Lebanese. No big deal. But you're right about George having changes: he aged as soon as he married 'up' :)

[@kristinbrown8460]

Amal is a very classy, educated attorney; from all I have read about her, she really is a very dedicated attorney, concerned with human rights issues. It's not often that one sees beauty and brains in one package. George is a very lucky guy! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AMAL!

[@rolfpeters123]

Hi frind ,I have liked the video hymen kind for the safety of the people of nation.

[@katerinaakhaimova5484]

The lady is beautiful, presentable and looks well, but if she is a lawyer she should know pretty well that saying something like "America's leadership in the 21 cent. means rallying around the world the causes that are right" has nothing to do with law. How could one country intervene into another countries' affairs,whether this is US or any other country?It is against international law!!! Today US intervenes into Maldives affairs by imposing sanctions for the "wrongful imprisonment of Mr.X", tomorrow it will intervene into Iraque, Iran, or some other county for the "right cause" and thousands of people will suffer, loosing their lives,health, becoming homeless. Who defines whether the cause is right or wrong? That's a false understanding of the basic principles of the international law. No country has a right to intervene into another country's affairs!!! This is one of the cornestones to promote peace on this planet. Tomorrow US will decide EU shall stay as it is and Brexit is "a right cause". Then what? Everybody imagined...So Mrs.Clooney should choose her reasoning more carefully....cause her way of thinking puts at stake peace and democracy all over the world.

[@bambang303378]

Beautiful Amal aside. Them government of Maldives are pretty messed up currently.

[@noreen54]

She makes me sick !!! Didn't know she pushed her husband to throw HRC the dinner fund raiser. I will never trust George because he listened to her. Thanks Amal because I will not see any movies that your husband makes. I don't see how he can redeem himself because of YOU !!! I have a few names for you and you cannot be trusted in my eyes.

[@CMRinehart]

She looks very uncomfortable in front of a camera. Her eyes shift around a little too much. I also noticed that she made a point to hold her hand up high to show off her ring. And her husband, according to the Dailey News, George Clooney would change girlfriends the way the rest of us change socks. In fact, keeping track of his latest arm candy was not an easy task.

[@infadelecharlton1090]

Hmmm, really that is what you got from this interview? She has been fighting the good cause for human rights for over 15 years. I don't think her marriage comes into her thoughts at all. Her passion is in human rights. It's an uncomfortable conversation because 1. She is on tv, which she is not used to and 2. what she is saying could put her life in danger. One of her team in the Maldives was murdered. I think you may need to stop thinking like a tabloid. Also I don't even see what you see. She seems passionate.

[@CMRinehart]

+Infadele Charlton Do you normally tell others what to think all the time?

+Lelo Noor Sorry to clue you in, but Amal was very successful in her chosen field long before she ever met Clooney. She has been recognized and awarded for her excellent work and has the admiration of her peers as well. She's represented many high profile figures like the King of Bahrain and Julian Assange. All of that without the help of George. I don't think she especially likes the attention of being Mrs. Clooney since she strives to keep her private life private and doesn't act like a Kardashian.

[@laza8675]

+eddieisfiction how is it bashing him to say her work is more important than an acting job? Its objective to say that while what lelo noor said isnt, it comes from a place of prejudice. You are the deluded masculinist offended at any normal comment and scared at any display of female solidarity.

Are you serious? She is an Oxford and NYU educated human rights barrister at an internationally renowned law firm who has represented such high profile clients as the governments of Greece and Armenia, former presidents and prime ministers, and Julian Assange (of Wikileaks) in contentious cases at some of the highest forums of international law such as the International Criminal Court and the UN. She should be famous among people who follow what is actually going on in the world past the shallow veneer of reality tv and like, Kardashians.

[@rorsara3940]

Allison Bender go look up her past and you will see that she was appointed to some high profile tasks and missions while she was so young and barely had any experience and then think of what possibly made her that privileged to take on such high level appointments in her early twenties with almost ZERO past experience...all the stuff you mentioned came after the fact that she was put in a high profile place she never had enough experience and skills to match it.
